Tilvin Silva: Batalanda Commission Report Made Public Without Ulterior Motives

Date:

JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva stated yesterday that the Batalanda Commission was not appointed by the current government and that there were no hidden motives behind unveiling its report.

Speaking to the media at the party office in Battaramulla, Silva emphasized that the government was merely bringing to light a report that had been previously concealed from the public.

He further noted that a large number of people are prepared to testify about the events that took place in Batalanda and that, if proper evidence is presented, not only Ranil Wickremesinghe but many others involved will have to face legal consequences.

Silva assured that the government would take all legally possible actions while remaining within the bounds of the law.

“This is a complex task. Evidence must be gathered, past killings and crimes must be investigated, and justice must be served for the victims. There are ongoing investigations into the anti-democratic and inhumane acts committed during previous regimes. We do not act outside the law—it is our responsibility to enforce justice against those involved in these crimes,” he asserted.
